Next time use Motul and stock OEM Subaru filter, much better.......

That is the one oil I would stay away from. I have rebuilt so many motors that ran Mobil 1 that wound up with spun a bearing. Dont get me wrong, mobil 1 is a good oil just not on our motors.

Just check your oil often if you're using that thin stuff.

Thanks for the input everyone! I'll keep that in mind. So oil change every 2500 miles?

Shell Helix oil, it's what Ferrari mandated for the Enzo.
